Floating Point Textures in OpenGL ES 2.0

Question

I\'ve been trying to figure out how to use float textures in GLES2. The API Reference (http://www.khronos.org/opengles/sdk/docs/man/glTexImage2D.xml) says that only unsigned

In OpenGL ES 2.0, floating-point textures are only supported if the implementation exports the OES_texture_float extension. Note that this extension only allows nearest filtering within a texture level, and no filtering between texture levels. This restriction is loosened by the presence of OES_texture_float_linear. Another potential caveat is that the presence of OES_texture_float does not require that the implementation support rendering to floating-point textures with framebuffer objects.

What are you trying to do with float textures?
